When I Burn This Place Down Lyrics

When I Burn This Place Down lyrics

After 29 years 



On the stroke of 13 



I woke up from my life 



Like it was all just a bad dream 



My get up and go 



Had just got up and split 



After you ground me under your heel 



Like a spent cigarette 



When your memory's crashed 



When your out on the tiles 



Just remember that 



Everyone loves a good kid 



Who can loose with a smile 



When they break both your legs 



Don't come running to me 



And baby if you were drowning 



I'd throw you a funeral wreath 



 



When I burn this place down 



I'll make sure you're around 



Girl, I want you to see 



The big smile on my face 



As I hitch a ride out of town 



Well, I ain't gonna come to your party 



But baby, I'm sure gonna dance on your grave 



It's the least I can do 



For the time that I spent as your slave
